Spatial Point Pattern Analysis is the evaluation of the pattern or distribution, of a set of points on a surface. The point can be location of:
Using appropriate functions of spatstat, this hands-on exercise aims to discover the spatial point processes of childecare centres in Singapore.
The specific questions we would like to answer are as follows:
To provide answers to the questions above, three data sets will be used. They are:
CHILDCARE, a point feature data providing both location and attribute information of childcare centres. It was downloaded from Data.gov.sg and is in geojson format.
MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL, a polygon feature data providing information of URA 2014 Master Plan Planning Subzone boundary data. It is in ESRI shapefile format. This data set was also downloaded from Data.gov.sg.
CostalOutline, a polygon feature data showing the national boundary of Singapore. It is provided by SLA and is in ESRI shapefile format.
In this hands-on exercise, five R packages will be used, they are:
sf, a relatively new R package specially designed to import, manage and process vector-based geospatial data in R.
spatstat, which has a wide range of useful functions for point pattern analysis. In this hands-on exercise, it will be used to perform 1st- and 2nd-order spatial point patterns analysis and derive kernel density estimation (KDE) layer.
raster which reads, writes, manipulates, analyses and model of gridded spatial data (i.e. raster). In this hands-on exercise, it will be used to convert image output generate by spatstat into raster format.
maptools which provides a set of tools for manipulating geographic data. In this hands-on exercise, we mainly use it to convert Spatial objects into ppp format of spatstat.
tmap which provides functions for plotting cartographic quality static point patterns maps or interactive maps by using leaflet API.
Use the code chunk below to install and launch the five R packages.

childcare_sf consists of spatial points, so it cannot accept tm_fill/tm_borders/tm_polygons. So we have to use tm_dots()
invalid_mpsz_sf <- which(!st_is_valid(mpsz_sf))
invalid_sg_sf <- which(!st_is_valid(sg_sf))
invalid_childcare_sf <- which(!st_is_valid(childcare_sf))
# Print the indices of the invalid geometries

sg_sf <- st_make_valid(sg_sf)
mpsz_sf <- st_make_valid(mpsz_sf)# Now, try plotting again
tm_shape(sg_sf) +
tm_polygons() +
tm_shape(mpsz_sf) +
tm_polygons() +
tm_shape(childcare_sf)+
tm_dots()
Alternatively, we can prepare a pin map by using this code chunk:
tmap_mode('view')tmap mode set to interactive viewingtm_shape(childcare_sf)+
tm_dots()tmap_mode('plot')tmap mode set to plottingNotice that at the interactive mode, tmap is using leaflet for R API. The advantage of this interactive pin map is it allows us to navigate and zoom around the map freely.
Although simple feature data frame is gaining popularity again sp’s Spatial* classes, there are, however, many geospatial analysis packages require the input geospatial data in sp’s Spatial* classes. In this section, you will learn how to convert simple feature data frame to sp’s Spatial* class.

1 1 1 1 3 If we want to know how many locations have more than one point event, we can use the code chunk below.
sum(multiplicity(childcare_ppp) > 1)[1] 338The output shows that there are 128 duplicated point events.
To view the locations of these duplicate point events, we will plot childcare data by using the code chunk below.
tmap_mode('view')tmap mode set to interactive viewingtm_shape(childcare) +
tm_dots(alpha=0.4,
size=0.05)There are three ways to overcome this problem. The easiest way is to delete the duplicates. But, that will also mean that some useful point events will be lost.
The second solution is use jittering, which will add a small perturbation to the duplicate points so that they do not occupy the exact same space.
The third solution is to make each point “unique” and then attach the duplicates of the points to the patterns as marks, as attributes of the points. Then you would need analytical techniques that take into account these marks.
The code chunk below implements the jittering approach.

drop=TRUE)any(duplicated(childcare_ppp_jit))[1] FALSEmultiplicity(childcare_ppp) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

tm_dots(alpha=0.4,
size=0.05)There are three ways to overcome this problem. The easiest way is to delete the duplicates. But, that will also mean that some useful point events will be lost.
The second solution is use jittering, which will add a small perturbation to the duplicate points so that they do not occupy the exact same space.
The third solution is to make each point “unique” and then attach the duplicates of the points to the patterns as marks, as attributes of the points. Then you would need analytical techniques that take into account these marks.
The code chunk below implements the jittering approach.
childcare_ppp_jit <- rjitter(childcare_ppp,
retry=TRUE,
nsim=1,
drop=TRUE)any(duplicated(childcare_ppp_jit))[1] FALSEWhen analysing spatial point patterns, it is a good practice to confine the analysis with a geographical area like Singapore boundary. In spatstat, an object called owin is specially designed to represent this polygonal region.
The code chunk below is used to covert sg SpatialPolygon object into owin object of spatstat.

In this section, you will learn how to perform first-order SPPA by using spatstat package. The hands-on exercise will focus on:
deriving kernel density estimation (KDE) layer for visualising and exploring the intensity of point processes,
performing Confirmatory Spatial Point Patterns Analysis by using Nearest Neighbour statistics.
In this section, you will learn how to compute the kernel density estimation (KDE) of childcare services in Singapore.
The code chunk below computes a kernel density by using the following configurations of density() of spatstat:
bw.diggle() automatic bandwidth selection method. Other recommended methods are bw.CvL(), bw.scott() or bw.ppl().
The smoothing kernel used is gaussian, which is the default. Other smoothing methods are: “epanechnikov”, “quartic” or “disc”.
The intensity estimate is corrected for edge effect bias by using method described by Jones (1993) and Diggle (2010, equation 18.9). The default is FALSE.
kde_childcareSG_bw <- density(childcareSG_ppp,
sigma=bw.diggle,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian") The plot() function of Base R is then used to display the kernel density derived.
plot(kde_childcareSG_bw)
The density values of the output range from 0 to 0.000035 which is way too small to comprehend. This is because the default unit of measurement of svy21 is in meter. As a result, the density values computed is in “number of points per square meter”.
Before we move on to next section, it is good to know that you can retrieve the bandwidth used to compute the kde layer by using the code chunk below.
bw <- bw.diggle(childcareSG_ppp)
bw sigma
306.6986 In the code chunk below, rescale() is used to covert the unit of measurement from meter to kilometer.
childcareSG_ppp.km <- rescale(childcareSG_ppp, 1000, "km")Now, we can re-run density() using the resale data set and plot the output kde map.
kde_childcareSG.bw <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma=bw.diggle, edge=TRUE, kernel="gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw)
Notice that output image looks identical to the earlier version, the only changes in the data values (refer to the legend).
Beside bw.diggle(), there are three other spatstat functions can be used to determine the bandwidth, they are: bw.CvL(), bw.scott(), and bw.ppl().
Let us take a look at the bandwidth return by these automatic bandwidth calculation methods by using the code chunk below.
bw.CvL(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma
4.543278 bw.scott(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma.x sigma.y
2.159749 1.396455 bw.diggle(childcareSG_ppp.km) sigma
0.3066986 Baddeley et. (2016) suggested the use of the bw.ppl() algorithm because in ther experience it tends to produce the more appropriate values when the pattern consists predominantly of tight clusters. But they also insist that if the purpose of once study is to detect a single tight cluster in the midst of random noise then the bw.diggle() method seems to work best.
The code chunk beow will be used to compare the output of using bw.diggle and bw.ppl methods.
kde_childcareSG.ppl <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.ppl,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian")
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw, main = "bw.diggle")
plot(kde_childcareSG.ppl, main = "bw.ppl")
By default, the kernel method used in density.ppp() is gaussian. But there are three other options, namely: Epanechnikov, Quartic and Dics.
The code chunk below will be used to compute three more kernel density estimations by using these three kernel function.
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(density(childcareSG_ppp.km,
sigma=bw.ppl,
edge=TRUE,
kernel="gaussian"),
main="Gaussian")

main="Epanechnikov")Warning in density.ppp(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = bw.ppl, edge = TRUE, :

main="Disc")Warning in density.ppp(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma = bw.ppl, edge = TRUE, :

Next, you will compute a KDE layer by defining a bandwidth of 600 meter. Notice that in the code chunk below, the sigma value used is 0.6. This is because the unit of measurement of childcareSG_ppp.km object is in kilometer, hence the 600m is 0.6km.
kde_childcareSG_600 <- density(childcareSG_ppp.km, sigma=0.6, edge=TRUE, kernel="gaussian")
plot(kde_childcareSG_600)
Fixed bandwidth method is very sensitive to highly skew distribution of spatial point patterns over geographical units for example urban versus rural. One way to overcome this problem is by using adaptive bandwidth instead.
In this section, you will learn how to derive adaptive kernel density estimation by using density.adaptive() of spatstat.
kde_childcareSG_adaptive <- adaptive.density(childcareSG_ppp.km, method="kernel")
plot(kde_childcareSG_adaptive)
We can compare the fixed and adaptive kernel density estimation outputs by using the code chunk below.
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(kde_childcareSG.bw, main = "Fixed bandwidth")
plot(kde_childcareSG_adaptive, main = "Adaptive bandwidth")
The result is the same, we just convert it so that it is suitable for mapping purposes
# Assuming kde_childcareSG.bw is an im object
kde_im <- as.im(kde_childcareSG.bw)
# Convert to SpatialGridDataFrame
gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw <- as(kde_im, "SpatialGridDataFrame")
# Visualize using spplot
spplot(gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw)
Next, we will convert the gridded kernal density objects into RasterLayer object by using raster() of raster package.
kde_childcareSG_bw_raster <- raster(gridded_kde_childcareSG_bw)Let us take a look at the properties of kde_childcareSG_bw_raster RasterLayer.
kde_childcareSG_bw_rasterclass : RasterLayer

Finally, we will display the raster in cartographic quality map using tmap package.
tm_shape(kde_childcareSG_bw_raster) +
tm_raster("v") +
tm_layout(legend.position = c("right", "bottom"), frame = FALSE)legend.postion is used for plot mode. Use view.legend.position in tm_view to set the legend position in view mode.Variable(s) "v" contains positive and negative values, so midpoint is set to 0. Set midpoint = NA to show the full spectrum of the color palette.Notice that the raster values are encoded explicitly onto the raster pixel using the values in “v”” field.
In this section, you will learn how to compare KDE of childcare at Ponggol, Tampines, Chua Chu Kang and Jurong West planning areas.
The code chunk below will be used to extract the target planning areas.
pg = mpsz[mpsz@data$PLN_AREA_N == "PUNGGOL",]
tm = mpsz[mpsz@data$PLN_AREA_N == "TAMPINES",]
ck = mpsz[mpsz@data$PLN_AREA_N == "CHOA CHU KANG",]

plot(pg, main = "Ponggol")
plot(tm, main = "Tampines")
plot(ck, main = "Choa Chu Kang")
plot(jw, main = "Jurong West")
Next, we will convert these SpatialPolygonsDataFrame layers into generic spatialpolygons layers.
pg_sp = as(pg, "SpatialPolygons")
tm_sp = as(tm, "SpatialPolygons")
ck_sp = as(ck, "SpatialPolygons")
jw_sp = as(jw, "SpatialPolygons")Now, we will convert these SpatialPolygons objects into owin objects that is required by spatstat.
library(spatstat)
# Assuming pg_sp is your SpatialPolygons object
pg_coords <- coordinates(pg_sp)
pg_xrange <- range(pg_coords[, 1])
pg_yrange <- range(pg_coords[, 2])
pg_owin <- owin(c(pg_xrange[1], pg_xrange[2]), c(pg_yrange[1], pg_yrange[2]))
# Repeat the above process for tm_sp, ck_sp, and jw_sp

tm_coords <- coordinates(tm_sp)
tm_xrange <- range(tm_coords[, 1])
tm_yrange <- range(tm_coords[, 2])
tm_owin <- owin(c(tm_xrange[1], tm_xrange[2]), c(tm_yrange[1], tm_yrange[2]))
# Assuming ck_sp is your SpatialPolygons object
ck_coords <- coordinates(ck_sp)
ck_xrange <- range(ck_coords[, 1])
ck_yrange <- range(ck_coords[, 2])

jw_yrange <- range(jw_coords[, 2])
jw_owin <- owin(c(jw_xrange[1], jw_xrange[2]), c(jw_yrange[1], jw_yrange[2]))
# Now pg_owin, tm_owin, ck_owin, jw_owin are owin objects representing the bounding boxesBy using the code chunk below, we are able to extract childcare that is within the specific region to do our analysis later on.
childcare_pg_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[pg_owin]
childcare_tm_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[tm_owin]
childcare_ck_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[ck_owin]
childcare_jw_ppp = childcare_ppp_jit[jw_owin]Next, rescale() function is used to trasnform the unit of measurement from metre to kilometre.
childcare_pg_ppp.km = rescale(childcare_pg_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_tm_ppp.km = rescale(childcare_tm_ppp, 1000, "km")
childcare_ck_ppp.km = rescale(childcare_ck_ppp, 1000, "km")

In this section, we will perform the Clark-Evans test of aggregation for a spatial point pattern by using clarkevans.test() of statspat.
The test hypotheses are:
Ho = The distribution of childcare services are randomly distributed.
H1= The distribution of childcare services are not randomly distributed.
The 95% confident interval will be used.
clarkevans.test(childcareSG_ppp,
correction="none",
clipregion="sg_owin",
alternative=c("clustered"),
nsim=99)
Clark-Evans test
No edge correction
Z-test
data: childcareSG_ppp
R = 0.51429, p-value < 2.2e-16
alternative hypothesis: clustered (R < 1)What conclusion can you draw from the test result?
R = 0.55631: This is the observed value of the test statistic.
p-value < 2.2e-16: The p-value is very small, much smaller than the conventional significance level of 0.05. Therefore, you would reject the null hypothesis.
Alternative hypothesis: clustered (R < 1): The alternative hypothesis is that the points are clustered, and since the observed value of R is less than 1, it supports the notion of clustering.
In conclusion, based on the Clark-Evans test with no edge correction and using a Z-test, the p-value is highly significant, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. The evidence suggests that the points in the childcareSG_ppp point pattern are clustered. The value of R being less than 1 further supports the idea of clustering.
In the code chunk below, clarkevans.test() of spatstat is used to performs Clark-Evans test of aggregation for childcare centre in Choa Chu Kang planning area.
